    Abstract: A method for tuning a tunable optical transmitter to a target wavelength includes applying at least one tuning signal to the tunable optical transmitter to control the tunable optical transmitter to create an optical calibration signal according to nominal tuning information for the tunable optical transmitter. The optical calibration signal has a wavelength lying within a secure wavelength range, and the nominal tuning information is based on a nominal wavelength dependency for the tunable optical transmitter. The method also includes measuring a deviation between an actual wavelength dependency of the tunable optical transmitter and the nominal wavelength dependency, and determining calibration information based on that deviation. The calibration information is applied to determine a corrected nominal wavelength dependency from which target tuning information is determined. The tunable optical transmitter is controlled to create an optical channel signal according to the target tuning information.

    Abstract: Provided is an optical network system and optical network unit (ONU) structure enabling a passive optical access network having a meshed structure with at least two central nodes and plurality of ONUs. One embodiment employs a partially or fully meshed structure of optical fibers between customer locations and multiple optical line terminal (OLT) locations creating a passive optical access network. The ONUs can communicate with a neighboring OLT or ONU using a symmetrical or asymmetrical TDM scheme, and convert between the different TDM schemes. For this purpose, the ONU structure includes two transceiver units, one connected to the western network port and the other to the eastern. The ONU can establish communication between either network port and a further ONU or an OLT, with the ONU controller adapted for passing through data, and converting TDM schemes.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for monitoring a pump laser of at least one optical amplifier in an optical transmission link in operation. The optical output power of the pump laser to be monitored depends on an injection current. The pump laser to be monitored is operated at an operating point defined by a given value of the injection current and a corresponding value of the optical output power. The method includes the steps of shifting the operating point of the pump laser to be monitored to at least one shifted operating point. The shifting is effected in such a way that the gain of the respective optical amplifier essentially reaches its steady state, determining information on the at least one shifted operating point, and using the information on the operating point and the at least one shifted operating point to determine information on the stage of aging of the pump laser to be monitored.
